A UK-based nuclear fusion collaboration just produced a record amount of energy, a refreshing dose of good news in humankind’s quest for cleaner energy sources. The Joint European Torus facility, or JET, produced just over 69 megajoules of heat. A brief distillation of nuclear fusion: It is a reaction by which atomic nuclei fuse, turning into a new element while at the same time producing a huge amount of energy.
26 megajoules recently released at JET exceeds the facility’s previous record of 59 megajoules, as noted by the DOE, and more than triples the facility’s initial peak fusion power record of 22 megajoules, set in 1997. Looks like the DOE will need to update its website. The recent pulse at JET also generated 20 times the record energy produced by the United States Department of Energy’s National Ignition Facility last year, albeit through a different process.
